I listen to a lot of music, or Fresh Air/NPR. I would do the exact same thing if I was riding on a train. I listen to a lot of music anyways (i.e. go to record stores, buy albums etc... ) so it's great for me, especially because I don't listen to music or other things at work because it's distracting for me. Also, I know I couldn't handle the drive to Cupertino from SF, and I've had an imposed limit of 45 minutes for a commute, which is why I even moved to Menlo Park when I first moved to the bay. But, I get off at Sand Hill Road, and honestly, living in Menlo Park is much more soul sucking than an extra 20 minutes of commuting each day. It was too far to walk anywhere from my house when I was home, and that's a huge dealbreaker for me.
